rem charged with the larceny Of II
trunk from the Windsor house. The
prisoners asked for separate trials, and
the request was granted.
Carr was first arraigned. Forster
conducted the defense and District AT
torney Jones the prosecution. a jury
WAS EN- mpaneled and sworn, and hen
Ch IF OF Police Warren was placed on
the witness stand. lie testified that
he found the defendant with Warren
sitting upon the stolen trunk in the
cut ON Front street. Heard hammer
ing as he approached. The trunk was
turned upon its side lock up;
the straps were unfastened aud
the lock janimed us ifit had been ham
mered with II stcne. He asked them
il they were sitting on II trunk and
they replied in the negative but when
he com elled them to rise, and the
trunk was revealed, they claimed
they found it there and had sat down
TO rest.
Rogers was called and testified rs to

Lieutenant Nance testified to the

lice.
Woodward sworn. Testified that he
saw Carr in the afternoon OF the day
on which the larceny was committed,
and that he WAS then intoxicated.
The court allowed fifteen minutes
apiece TO counsel to address the jury.
Jones argued that the only ques-
ton to be considered was as to the com.
parative creditnbllity of Chief OF Police
Warren's testimony and that OF the
prisoners. Warren had no motive to
tell II false story, while the prisoners
were vitality interest, d in the case and
had every reason to explain III some
piausable way the suspicious ciicuh'-
stances surrounding them. He refe.-
red also to the high reputation OF Wa
rem, as an honorable man, while the
prisoner, according TO his own admis-
son, was drunkurd and vugiant, and
had been proved guilty Of larceny.
Taking all these facts into consiGera-
ton he could not see how the jury
could hesitate II moment in deciding
which was the true story. 1t they be"
lieved Mr.. Warren they must find the
prisoner guilty.
In his argument Foster urged that
the proof was insufficient to convict
any person, The prisoner told ner.
f,ctly straight story, and was corrober-
ated by the man found with him.
The simple fact that he was found
sitting upon the stolen property was
no evidence against him. The trunk
had probably been stolen by two other
Jarties, who were alarmed by the APP
proach of the defendant and fled.
The Judge briefly instructed the
Jury who then retired and when the
court adjourned had not yet reached II
decision.
